Why not use couch directly? It's interface is http and thus available to all the clients. If you have other or static resources that need to be on the same domain, a node http proxy in front of couch might work.
Of course if your query requirements don't work with couch's api, then that may make things complicated. You could build your own pretty quickly. Just expose the APIs using express or raw connect/stack. To start out, you can use a simple in-memory object and then later replace it with something more substantial. Just be sure to not assume sync access to the db. On Wed, Feb 1, 2012 at 12:00 PM, Dave Feldman <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, I'm relatively new to Node but not to JS in general.
